I had therapy yesterday and we talked about something that I am starting to feel terribly bad about and it's not very funny although for a while I was laughing about it. Dr. Moore made me realize how wrong I was to share the thought and now I just don't know how to take off the table. I think I'm going to avoid it and see if it won't go away. She'd be really proud of me taking that route too. Damn, what a mess.
Thursday night D and I are going to the Staples Center to see the Ducks play the Kings. Go Anze and Raitis. I would like to be able to stay up the entire game. We'll have to try it out as a new thing. There is just something embarassing about falling asleep at a sporting event. A year ago I would have been all for the Ducks but then they traded Andy. I have man-loyality. And Teemu and Beauchmin aren't playing. It leaves little to be excited about. Hell, they don't even have Bertuzzi for me to be excited about someone hitting. But it will be a good game. We will have fun.
So if the band aids at Hot Topic weren't ludicrous enough (yes I want them regardless), Torrid has come out with a Twilight perfume. Because I'm such a fangirl I want it badly. I think I will let it wait a little while but I will have it. The bandaids I hope to have much sooner. D might be stopping by Hot Topic on his way home from work next week. I wonder when the New Moon stuff will be coming out. I was sad to see Twilight is out of the theater in the Grove. We are going to see it on Friday at Universal Citywalk, along with Valkyrie and The Spirit. I am eager to see how Gabriel Macht does as The Spirit. I want to be impressed with the movie. I hope it doesn't leave me with the feeling that Sin City did.
Tomorrow is Christmas and I am amped up. I want to open presents! I kind of worry that I won't sleep tonight. I plan to take pictures of Christmas, I hope D likes his presents.
Being in LA has me feeling decidedly of two minds. It's home but it's also a cage. Really hard to be excited about a place that suffocates me. I miss big open spaces and fresh air. I miss home. At least I know that this July I'll be going home for a while. I do miss laying on the floor of my bedroom reading books all night, the sound of crickets coming in through the window. That was near perfection to me.
Last night I found a Rachel Caine audiostory of Dead Man Stalking. It was a story from Shane's perspective and I got very excited because in it he admits he loves Claire. He's never said it in the Morganville Vampire books so you were left wondering what he felt. I was giddy. I wonder when he will tell her. Lord of Misrule comes out in just over a month. Caine has three books coming out next year; January, July and November. It's like a banner year for me. But back to Misrule--I can't help but wonder how she is going to save Morganville. She left it burning to the ground at the end of Feast of Fools. And splitting up the core. My entire body is in EEK! Mode.
I haven't finished a book in a week. I am reading three at the moment. Dead After Dark, Snakecharm and Wizard's First Rule. I'm kind of blowing through Dead After Dark so I may finish it tomorrow. I liked Fury's story and I love Sherri but I feel like she is really falling down on her storytelling. Angelia hates Fury and then all the sudden she loves him and wants him as her mate. It's frustrating because she used to be much stronger than this on plot. One Silent Night was similar to Fury's tale and I don't really like it. I loved Fury though and wanted his story to be compelling. I did LOVE the JR Ward's The Story of Son. It was a good spin of on her vampire lure and well written. I loved Michael. Although the story bled Lover Unbound influence. Still I loved it. I still have two more stories to read.
The last two days I've had D home with me and it's nice. I like it. I like that boy very much. We decorated the Christmas tree last night and played Scrabble the last two nights. It's much nicer than me reading in bed and him out on the couch watching TV. I'd like to keep it this way. Oh and when we were in Alaska we got our gTalk video chat to work. So now while D is at work I can video chat with him. I have noticed not many people have it though. Too bad Nicky doesn't. I'll have to set my mother up wiith it.
I still haven't unpacked from Alaska. I know I need to. Maybe today. I have a caboodle of books in the one bag. I also have to pack a box or two for my mother. I ahoulsn't use my Vox as my Things To Do list. It's not the venue. While in Alaska I found a copy of Demon in My View. I love the cover of it and because I didn't recognize it as a Den of Shadows book. So now I have two copies of it. I have to quell that acquistiveness. It does me no favors.
I have to get the Alaska pictures off the camera. But for now. Here are two that Erin took for Thanksgiving.
This weekend is going to be a separate weekend for D and I. D is going to the Scream Awards with Spike folks and I have hopes of going to a slumber party at Susan. A Team Logan Slumber party and it's been years since we had one of those. Well at least one that includes me. It should be fun for both of us.
Speaking of which, we are going to take my Twilight poster to get framed this week. Then it will be hung in my bedroom above my bed. I still have two extra big posters. I don't know what I might do with them. They all have the old release date on them too. So they will be worth something when the new posters come out. I'm greedy because I want one of them too. I don't think it's too much to ask... one of each... even if I don't have the room to frame and hang them both. Maybe I could just get another 11"x17" with the new date on it.
I have a sick, sick mind that wakes me up at 3:30AM and thinks it is time to be done with the sleeping for a while. I
So now I'm back to reading Sarah Mayberry's Below the Belt which I started on Friday morning and then read other books instead of finishing it. I'm barely into the first chapter so finishing it is actually a long way off. And today I probably won't finish it with therapy and Iso and having promised D we would watch Fool's Gold because we Netflixed it before the Olympics. Speaking of Olympics, D, Nielle and I have been hammering out details and plans for seeing the 2012 Olympics in Vancouver. Nielle says we can crash on her floor and I'm trying to convince Nicky to hang out with us a bit. I'll have to email Milton too. It will be so good seeing all of them. And D will finally see Vancouver. It will be grand.
The other day I posted a link to Oceans Will Rise in one of my posts and then I ran into someone who (I know it can't be true) didn't even know who The Stills were. So I uploaded Logic Will Break Your Heart for them and I am posting it in case someone doesn't have it or doesn't know of them.... even though I know that everyone listens to The Stills--my favoritist band, brilliant and wonderful. I do have to say that Logic is by far my favorite but I am totally loving Oceans Will Rise and we just won't talk about the CD that came in between. Everyone will be happy that way.
I've been reading Twilight with my friend Jason this summer. It's a slow process since I'm in LA and he's in Pittsburgh, with many pauses along the way. This morning I read Hide-and-Seek and The Angel and emailed him my thoughts and it struck me that I would really love to read The Host with him so I threw that idea at him. D did find me the audiobook of it and that has made me a real happy camper. I really loved that book. I am a fan of Wanderer and Ian. So I am hoping that he will say yes to the suggestion of reading that together. I should have let him pick the next book. I don't think he is enjoying Twilight as much as I did. D's mom is also reading Twilight. We traded some emails last week and it was interesting to see what she had to say. I just think Twilight is such a perfect love story I forget that some people aren't too into the love story angle.
So the rest of my day is already planned out for me. I need to get ready to go to Westwood, take the bus *shudders*, go to Iso for my usual, veggie roll with extra ginger and large raspberry iced tea, then read until therapy. Mondays are routine I could do them in my sleep. It's comforting that way.
